He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 890

Julian offered a soft, knowing smile. "Don't worry, Dad. I'll outdo you."

Dominic clapped Julian affectionately on the shoulder before turning back to Scarlett, his expression softening into absolute sincerity.

"Scarlett, the Croft family doesn't believe in forcing our daughters-in-law to follow archaic rules. When a woman joins our family, she is meant to be spoiled."

"We fundamentally believe that a family can only thrive and grow if the woman feels deeply happy, respected, and completely at home."

"Of course, Sylvia was the exception..." A flash of regret briefly shadowed Dominic’s eyes.

Julian cleared his throat, eager to move past the dark chapter. "Dad, let's leave the past in the past."

Dominic nodded quickly. "Right, right. Anyway, I should get going. Elara and I have a massive project to finish tonight."

"Scarlett, thank you for staying with Julian again tonight. Elara and I have a huge surprise for you tomorrow."

With a final wave, Dominic picked up the stack of empty containers and headed for the door.

Scarlett didn't say much, but her heart was overflowing with warmth.

The more time she spent with Julian’s parents, the more she realized they truly saw her as family. Even the dinner—supposedly meant for a recovering patient—was entirely composed of Scarlett’s favorite dishes.

Watching Dominic disappear down the hall, Scarlett let out a soft sigh. "Julian, your parents are truly wonderful."

Julian smiled, leaning in to whisper against her ear. "You think this is good?"

"Just wait until we're officially married. Then you'll see exactly how wonderful they can be."
